Lord of the Rings Online
- LotRO is as cozy as I remember it
Haven't been feeling well this week so I took the opportunity to log into the game for the first time in years. Maybe Past Me knew when she logged out that it was going to be for a while, because she made sure I was in a lovely spot for the sunrise when I came back!
Happy to see Laurelin server is still going strong, I've been pottering around it on and off for 12 years now and still never even made it to Moria due to spending all my time farming, smoking pipe-weed on the roof of my hobbit house, and back in the day playing quite a lot of creep and RP-selling dyes in Bree when I should've been levelling instead 😅
That's my Christmas break game sorted, anyway. Do they still do the Yule festival?

Learn more about the River Hobbit in the LOTRO Store here!
Looks like the bundles are priced at 8995LP, 2995LP, and 1595LP.
I do really like the Superior cosmetic outfits, but I don't know if I 9000LP-like them. What are your thoughts?
- Farmers' Fair starts tomorrow! Here's some of the cosmetics that will be available.
I especially like the cape/cloak.
- What would you like to see added to the game as a hobby?
Fishing is fun, but having a "hobbies" tab with only one skill is a bit sad.
I've always thought it would be cool to make smoke rings with pipe-weed. Higher levels could allow you to make different sizes, shapes, or colours.

- Lord of the Rings Online announces River Hobbits, Mariner class, and stat squish
What are folks thinking/feeling about the upcoming updates?
I hadn't been planning on rolling up any new characters anytime soon (have way too many alts already!), but the concept art for the River Hobbits sure does look cute...
But I'm more interested in the coming crafting changes, personally. Really hoping for the ability to customise and/or add crafting skills outside of the fixed current professions.
Also cautiously hopeful about the lag fixes seemingly coming this week?! Most of the time lag is a minor irritation rather than a huge issue for me, but around festival time? Especially right now, in Minas Tirith (Midsummer)? Ugh...
- Exsanguinate attack
Hey, I recently got the Exsanguinate attack on my lvl 67 hunter but it is greyed out and it says “This skill cannot be used”. Does anyone know why?
- How to boost this community?
This is a good initiative but unfortunately there aren’t many of us. How can we boost membership?
- Useful Links
I figure a pinned post of some useful links might be handy for us to have.
-Wiki, and their New Player Guide
